Let's talk DID and dissociation

Let's talk DID and dissociation

Hello all

@Former-Member, @Bellarose75, @BraveOne, @Nyx, @Fluttershy1, @Maggie, @Grace20212, @NoOne, @MySunrise, @Unlonely1, @destructive, @Lemonjuice and we are sure there are others who have DID or dissociation disorders but we haven't interacted with them so feel free to add others we missed.

We noticed that there is a lot of threads popping up about DID and decided that maybe having a thread we can all chat on and ask questions and give advice to each other would be good.

We thought we would start off by explaing who we are.

We call ourselves the dragon system.

Host/main/core goes by our username due to guidelines but the rest of us are happy to say our names it also helps people know who's responding.

Here is a list of all of us that we as a working system is aware of.

So I'm going to split it up into 3 groups, littles (0-10), middles (11-17) and bigs (18+).

So my littles are :

Kelly, 4, mute and trauma holder, Eshy, main

Sarah, 6, main

Strudle, 5, wolf shapeshifter, main

Brandon

Bianca

Brittney, 7, the BBB triplets

Sienna, 8, prefers CC

Dana, 4, trauma holder, AP

Leana, 6, trauma holder, AP

Cameron, 8, trauma holder

Kelsey, 5, trauma holder

Uunala, 4, trauma holder, Eshy

Stacey, 10

Tessa, 9, FS Trauma holder

My middles are:

Steph, 15, sporty, gender fluid

Daisy, 13, Artistic

Macey, 12, smart, Eshy

Repunzel, 16/17, Fictive

Elsie, 17, littles helper

Erin, 15, trauma holder, Sh, main

Iris, 11, positive empath, littles caretaker, main

Chloe, 14, littles caretaker, clean freak (possibly ocd)

Mermaid Princess, 15/17, unknown language

Zayella, 15, sad/grief empath, inner world protector

Casey, 13, troublesome, sh

Evie, 15/16, fictive

My bigs are:

Sapphire,18, wolf shapeshifter, system protector, main

Harmony, 30, protector, main

Honey, 19, sexual

Grant, age Slider, 18-25,

Lana, 20, negative empath

Holly, age unknown, demon, system persecutor, is a main but currently locked away

Twilight, age unknown, dragon, gatekeeper

We know not all people with DID have an inner world but we do. Host created inner world as an escape when she was 9 and it has become a major part of our system. For anyone wondering twilights role as gatekeeper is literally that our inner world is surrounded by a brick wall and has a large gate outside that is a giant Forrest and twilight keeps the bad out. Holly came before twilight did so it's probably the only reason she made it in.

We also have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and panic disorder. Host is severe asthmatic as well which we suppose makes us all asthmatic.

Anyway hope you like the idea of this thread and we are happy to chat anytime but we do apologize if we don't always answer straight away

Thanks

Harmony/babydragon

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

@Unlonely1 that sounds like a lot to be feeling 💞

If you think it could be helpful to talk out those feelings more, our counsellors at SANE Support are there Monday-Friday 10am-10pm by phone or webchat

I'll also tag some other members who've been on this thread recently @destructive @MySunrise😊

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

@destructive

You asked the question about memories before diagnosis and if that was scary. Actually the memories put things into place like a missing jigsaw piece. Even though it started a whole new puzzle.

What was scary was discovering all these parts (or alters) and realising they've been here most of my life. I'm a bit switchy tonight so I won't talk more about it now. I'll wait until I'm functioning again.

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

I want to speak up. I just want to say and be heard that the rest of us find everything scary. She is in denial and pretends nothing is scary when it really is. And that is true

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

Hi @Former-Member @destructive @Unlonely1 and everyone else. I hope you all got through the long weekend without any dramas.

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

Hi @MySunrise,

Sort of had an incident that was really..... triggering/upsetting/troubling/stressful???

Anyway it is still sorta affecting us kinda down but otherwise weekend was ok.

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

@Former-Member @Sorry you had a tricky weekend. Here if u want to talk

@MySunrise how are you?

My weekend was ok'ing but today was rough and one of those days where I wonder if life is worth it, if I'll ever feel better. Seriously something so tiny goes wrong and I feel like I'm going to explode with panic. Makes life very very very very difficult. Others experience this too? I know rationally it's not that bad but I can't shake the nausea and dread

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

Hey. The weekend was challenging due to Easter and family. But I've had therapy this week and haven't dissociated since so I'm feeling good and getting things done.

I hope everyone is having a good week. @Former-Member hang in there, I'm learning that accepting my others is actually helping me.
@destructive I hear you loud and clear. The camels back hey. Be kind to you

I'm happy we have this chat even though I don't write much.

In response to: Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation

@Unlonely1 that sounds challenging. I'm glad you have been able to write in this chat again though.
